Nice job cleaning the skulls, they look good. Did you go the boil/Peroxide route ?

Default My method

I simmer the skull for about an hour in water mixed with Borax. Then out it comes and while still hot I hit it with 3000 psi pressure washer being carefull around sensitive areas. Once clean and dry I use 35% peroxide. I paint it in with a brush then wrap the skull with Saran Wrap and let sit over nite. In the morn I remove the wrap and let dry completely. Pretty simple really.
